Shockingly enough, Jazwolf, I didn't make that (somewhat obvious) connection until Strat mentioned it.

I stopped watching The Simpsons (which I used to adore) in protest, several years ago.

And, who are you again, Burly?

Just joking!

I hope this is a sign that you are feeling better. (You just sorta vanished.)

But, Bhaskar.ing ...
That plan is just silly.

I doubt I would refer to him as "sir", though, Dave.

Just doesn't sound like something I would say.

Whatever you choose, be the best that you can become.

Mademoiselle--- Those who doubt your wisdom need look only to Springfield,
where--- hey!--- you can run a nuclear reactor and eat doughnuts at the same time.

Mademoiselle, read the post. went to you link.Left a comment.Saw the dates
So I am putting it here on the lions,and what I would do. To find a connection go to the link M left on this post on the sayings of the sages:
Mademoiselle
If I were to be surrounded by a pack of lions, I would let one attack me. With his mouth open I would put my hands inside, make it come out of the other end, catch it by its tail, and pull it back with all my might, so that now he would be facing the jungles, completely reversed. This would frighten all other lions so much that they will want to make good their escape, pronto!

Mademoiselle: I would like to be a nuclear physicist.

Professor: OK, what's your specialism? Uranium?

Mademoiselle: No Sir, it was sunny when I came in.

LadyC, I'm not going to say anything about Popeye looking for his presents.

I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.

I'm glad to have settled the con-fusion, Mademoiselle.

A few years ago, Dave, one of my professors retired, and a student in the class gave him a small statue of a tiny fisherman holding a little plaque which read, "Gone fission."

I never understood why ... until just now.

Boston Creme is pretty good, LadyChardonnay.

Note:
I'm hoping my superpower will be an invulnerabilty to everything.

posted by Mademoiselle on November 7, 2006 at 7:25 AM | link to this | reply

Which one, ladychardonnay ?

Run a nuclear reactor?

Or eat donuts without getting fat?

posted by Mademoiselle on November 7, 2006 at 7:23 AM | link to this | reply

Actually, SuccessWarrior, I do have a very high metabolism.

Still, it's not a risk I'm willing to take.

posted by Mademoiselle on November 7, 2006 at 7:22 AM | link to this | reply

i can do that

posted by ladychardonnay on November 7, 2006 at 7:18 AM | link to this | reply

Maybe your superpower would be
the ability to eat donuts and not get fat.

posted by SuccessWarrior on November 7, 2006 at 7:16 AM | link to this | reply

I don't really eat donuts though, Strat.

Too fattening.

Besides, I think all the radiation would probably ruin the taste.

posted by Mademoiselle on November 7, 2006 at 6:55 AM | link to this | reply

Not to mention all those free donuts.
